Forecasts

Westernesse (10/3), Golden Melody (7/2), Ey Up Its The Boss (6/1), Blueflagflyinghigh (6/1), Flight Of Angels (13/2), El Pro (15/2), Squeezebox (8/1), Cavalluccio (12/1), Parish Councillor (22/1), Wath Court (33/1), Just Hiss (40/1)

FLIGHT OF ANGELS is well weighted on the pick of her 2023 form and looks set for a big run with her Hamilton reappearance likely to have blown away the cobwebs. Golden Melody went close here last week and can go well again. Ey Up Its The Boss is a live contender if lasting out over this new trip.
